Prior to the campaign BHS coach Rance Bahr challenged his wrestlers to double last year's dual-meet victory total of six. The Lumberjacks did better than even the coach had hoped as they tripled the win total with Friday's two victories.

BHS will now set its sights on the section meet which begins next Saturday at Rocori.

Logan Crosby, Craig Maas, and Alex Johnson were double winners on the mat Friday while Colton Doty, Dylan Hardy and Tyler Molitor went 2-0, downing their one opponent and also being awarded a forfeit victory.

In the match against Tech the Lumberjacks trailed 10-0 before Logan Crosby posted a pin at 119. That triumph was the first of six consecutive Bemidji victories. The run included Craig Maas' major at 130 and Doty's pin at 145 plus forfeit wins to Jake Crosby, Hardy and Isaiah Moore.

BHS posted two more individual wins down the stretch as Molitor downed his opponent 12-4 at 171 and Alex Johnson registered a pin at heavyweight.
